We have added the ability for anyone to 'bump' threads that they have created. This is mainly useful in the classifieds area where posters constantly bump for sale threads to bring it to the top. This allows them the ability to do that without having to clutter the thread with extra 'TTT' and 'Bump' type posts. To bump it, go inside your thread and click on 'Thread Tools' at the top, then select 'bump'. You can bump only once per 24 hour period.

Folks don't appreciate how unbelievably efficient the 44 Mag really is in a rifle length barrel.

These guns, with the right bullets, will drop most anything at close range.

One can push a 300 gr bullet at near 1600 fps in a Carbine with Alliant 300MP. This gives a Power Factor of 480. A 30/06 with a 180 gr bullet at 2700 fps gives a Power Factor of 486. The 30/30 with a 150 gr bullet at a real world 2000+ fps gives a Power Factor of 300.

Nobody is saying the 44 will equal the Ought Six, but up close? The 44 is a game harvesting machine, and is fun to shoot with light loaded ammo.
